The Hungarian Gyorgy Ligeti (b. 1923) is one of the most highly
regarded and influential of living composers. Having survived
persecution as a Jew during World War II, he fled to West Germany
during the Hungarian Revolution, where his early musical
development was shaped by his work in the Cologne electronic
studios and by the influence of Stockhausen. Rather than becoming
too closely identified with any single school or movement, Ligeti's
music has drawn on a divers range of sources, from the folk music
of his native Hungary to African and South American World music. In
works such as his Requiem, used in the film 2001: A Space Odyssey,
he has proved that contemporary classical music can be accessible
to a wide audience. This stimulating biography discusses Ligeti
within the context of the political and cultural history of postwar
Europe, and places him firmly at the forefront of musical change
and innovation over the past four decades.
